I wish they had said exactly what the bugs were that made it different from the arcade version to warrant such a recall/fix.

Well, the bugs are mostly combo and timing-related. Bridget and Johnny are pretty much ruined for arcade enthusiasts.
Edit: They aren't re-releasing the game for now, actually. They just know about the imperfections and hope the next port can be more accurate, blah, blah. Let's see how it ends.

Well, since I missed the arcade and I seldom use those two chars, I'll go for the existing port. Oh, my... I just finished downloading it!!!

There's another revision? And it's buggy? WTF, if they can't even handle doing the same thing over and over then they should just make a new one already. Seriously, what a miserable sight.

Maybe I am the lone nut for being so casual, but if I ran a corporation I would not see the profit motive to recall a game or re-release something just to fix a few minor combo glitches to please the 1% of the consumers who notice the bug.

You know, normally I would totally agree, but I think with all of these rehashes of Guilty Gear, they're probably in trouble if they don't appeal to the most extreme of fans.

Indeed. So many revisions of the same game can only be aimed at core fans. We're talking about 2D fighting, after all. And the truth is there're also issues which delete you memory card's content or something.

Some of the bugs are obvious and stupid: - Bridget is flatout missing a move (air 5HS) - Johnny can jackhound in Mist Finer stance for free, when it should cost super meter. - Bridget's Force Break bear punch can absorb an indefinite number of hits.
There are a few others that take a little bit of work to do (like Bridget's interrupting of yoyo return).
There are more but I can't remember them offhand.

Isn't the overall game speed altered too or I misread that?
And while we're on it, I'm curious about the backgrounds. There're some new ones and the old ones have new stuff, they say, but the question is: Are _all_ the old ones from Sharp Reload present on AC too like they were on Slash?
As a side note, PS2 AC is the first GG ever not published by Sega/Sammy, but by ASW themeselves. Maybe it has to do with quality controls.

They could release a fixed version. But if they are going to then they won't advertise it. They'll wait for the bad versions to sell first.
